As his self-appointed representative at the ministry of truth (minitrue), I feel it my duty to welcome you and inform you of a few facts.

1. As per the "Ace of Spade's" post above, we have always been at War with Art Bell.

2. As per Scottydawg's post above, we all subscribe to Serius and have forgiven them for the whole Art debacle (particularly as we have always been at war with Mr. Bell.)

3. As per "The value of Pi's" post above, we also hate Heather. As a matter of fact, anything and anybody connected with Art bell is to be universally reviled (though the jury is still out on Amy of "Amy on the radio." She had quit and may have been rehabilitated.)

4. As per Robert's post above, we all love George Noory and me makes us smile.

That is all for now. But please remember that failure to adopt the above statements as facts may require a visit to room 101 where MV may "love you" a whole lot.

Yours truly;The friendly minister of truth.

Yes. Thank you for the clarification. Rest assured I will print your words within the next few minutes, bring them to work tomorrow, and I will meditate upon your widsom in my cubicle. It is my goal in this Forum to learn what I can about BellGab and the Art Bell.

I must also ask The Mighty MV a question, if I might be so bold to inquire directly.

Would you happen to be of a Dutch extraction, considering your last name?

My real name is obviously not LucaParcelli, and I have that pesky "Nederlandse bloed".

Hi again, I thought I would take a moment to agree with what some of you have said. For example I feel that yes things have changed, when I moved the show from boring Politics to the Paranormal I was pretty much alone, now the field is like a LA drive time traffic jam which has diluted the airwaves with Paranormal Radio to the point that Guests are simply saying the same stuff over and over on show after show, I prefer opening new ground, not plowing the same ground again and again. Also complicating the field is that there frankly is not much new, nothing like the big days of big sightings and good abduction stories. It has pretty much dried up. It is still more interesting then Politics with the possible exception of this Year.

What the hell would a bellgab meetup even look like? It'd be like some cross between a knife fight and a greased pig contest. And, I mean, there would have to be sex. I want to go on record as being against this idea.

That is all... There is only one BellGab and MV is its prophet.

Yup. My great great great grandparents came here on a boat in, if I recall correctly, the 1880s. There's a long line of Vandevens here in Cape Girardeau, MO. For fun, check out the old Vandeven General Store:

Is it likely this is the same person as, or working in concert with, the one who's been threatening physical violence?

This makes me very sad. Someone out there who just wants to shut people up. It can't be personal, considering his range of targets.

They've been doing this on college campuses, but at least that's just a college campus. This is the open air.Me too.

The seeming timidness with which some government agencies often deal with civil law violations is very depressing. Here's a guy who admits to the actions that make him guilty of breaking the law and instead of making an example of him, they indulge his transgressions and mockery of the law. Enforce the fine without further delay and if he continues to break the law, take the punishment to the next legal level.

The quality of life for Americans often depends as much on enforcing smaller laws as bigger ones. And I doubt the FCC is busy catching terrorists in any case. Do your f'n jobs.
